I had a shortened seaon of doing taxes this year. I go into the hospital to
treat osteomyolitis on my right pelvic region Thursday. Its all closed but it
did slough away to the bone last fall. I thought i only had to heal it up. I
had hopes for an epidural but the doctor refused. He doesn't belive quads can
lay face down for several hours without breathing complications.
He's right, I have copd since the last time I had surgery and used an epidural.
A blood clot hit my lung. I had always thought that was fatal, but in surgery
it isn't. It was lights out. I hate waking up intibated.
I thought I'd wish everyone a happy Easter and Passover. I'll be gone about a
month.
I do read the list every chance and I feel like I know many of you. I should be
able to write more in May. I'll try to remember the hospital humor.
Ohyeah, i'm sure this has been said, but I might have missed it, Never overpack
a wound. Use moistened fluffed gause and keep pounding down protein. And dead
tissue must come out, cut it out, use maggots, or my preferense, santyl. Then
keep pressure off and it should heal up nicely.
God bless y'all,
john
